Gio did get the nod for at least one ceremonial faceoff.

Iggy leaves darn big shoes to fill. Led the team offensively for years. In and out of the top few scoring slots several years. Fiercely competitive, and stuck up for teammates. Led by example. Consummate professional on and off the ice. Did more things than he got credit for including defensively (for a winger) and in board battles. We were spoiled for years. International resume. Future hall of famer. Nobody on the team has come close to showing the leadership and consistency. Even before him, Conroy left it on the ice and had a great all around game plus being media friendly and loyal to teammates.

Noone can touch Iggy and Cammalleri right now is the closest you come to Conroy in some attributes. Very tough call.
